"Young master, please cheer up! Now that the Murong Family is troubled both internally and externally, we can only rely on you! " Housekeeper Li took a few steps forward and his tone became serious.

Murong Aotian closed his eyes and a teardrop slipped down the corners of his eyes.

This tear drop was for Su Wanbai.

These few days, the scenes from the past flashed past his mind like a movie. They were all about him and Su Wanbai. Such a moving woman had somehow left his life. Originally, he had already prepared himself so much that he wouldn't be able to see her for the rest of his life. But at least she was alive, and he still had hope. But now, she might have already turned into dirt and laid on the ground forever.

All the bodyguards were sent to the cemetery in S City by Housekeeper Li. Miss Su was no longer around. She knew where she was buried and that young master could visit her often in the future. Her heart was more or less comforting her.

Seeing that Murong Aotian did not say anything, the Housekeeper Li knew that he had acquiesced. Thus, he instructed the servants to help him wash and wash. Murong Aotian donned his clothes and went downstairs. He looked as handsome as before, but there was an extra tinge of melancholy and seriousness in his eyes.

"I only need this one, take away the rest!" Murong Aotian pointed to the pickled vegetable core and the millet porridge.

The Housekeeper Li quietly left an extra portion on the opposite side. Murong Aotian raised his head unconsciously and was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at the Housekeeper Li and lowered his head again.

The young master had not been talkative in the first place, and now he was even more taciturn.

Fang Wenlan, who was the current Mrs. Murong, called and said that the old master was fine now and would be home after staying for two days. In fact, Old Master Murong's body was normally healthy, and he would often go to the gym to exercise. His fainting was also due to the pressure of the Nangong Family, which was why Murong Aotian did not rush to the hospital immediately. When his father saw him, he couldn't help but think of the troublesome things that were happening right now. His mood would only get worse.

Murong Aotian and Housekeeper Li did not call Old Master Nangong, but went straight to the Nangong Mansion.

"Young Master Murong, you finally appeared!" The Old Master Nangong seemed to have expected that he would come here, as he looked at him with a smile.

"Hello, Uncle Nangong!" Murong Aotian's tone was harsh.

No matter what, their little brother Ao Jie and Hu Xiaodie's wedding date was set in advance by the two old men. They even sent out their invitation cards. But Murong Aojie had gone abroad under his brother's arrangements, his Nangong Family becoming the laughing stock of the entire S City. After that, Old Master Murong tried to personally come to apologize, but he always closed the door. Nangong Family was currently infuriated, allowing them to calm down was also good. This matter was temporarily put aside by Old Master Murong. Who would have thought that the Nangong Family would suddenly make a move and ask for Murong Aotian and Hu Xiaodie to marry each other! It was like a stone giving rise to a thousand ripples, the Nangong Family spread the news, and the Murong Family was pushed to the heart of the struggle.

"Your Murong Family has fled the marriage, and it seems that you have not formally apologized to us yet!" Old Master Nangong squinted his eyes and said with a smile that was not a smile.

"Our Murong Family will be reported as an apology!" Murong Aotian said lightly.

"Then your marriage with Xiao Die …" The Old Master Nangong said.

"Miss Nan Gong was just abandoned by the Second Young Master and turned around to marry the First Young Master. What do you think of the outside world?" Murong Aotian looked at Old Master Nangong playfully.

"That's our Nangong Family's family matter, it has nothing to do with you!" Old Master Nangong's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Although she is an illegitimate daughter, you all shouldn't be too biased! "Of course, you can listen to this advice or not!" Murong Aotian stood up and walked out of the Nangong Mansion with big strides.

Just as he walked out of the door, he met Hu Xiaodie whose eyes were filled with tears. After not seeing her for a while, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Not only were her dark circles serious, but her skin was also a lot rougher than before. When she saw Murong Aotian, her hurried footsteps stopped for a moment, but she quickly took out her sunglasses and put them on, wanting to immediately leave Murong Aotian's sight.

"Halt!" Murong Aotian said coldly.

"You misunderstand, it's not that I don't want to let you go." It's someone from the Nangong Family who forced me to make this choice. Either marry into the Murong Family, or leave the Nangong Family, and fend for myself! "That's true, but they've blocked my way. I can't find any job, and they won't take me anywhere!" Hu Xiaodie lowered her head, her voice hoarse.

"How pitiful you are!" Murong Aotian faintly spat out.

"I know I'm pitiful. Mum died, father didn't love me, stepmother and sister treated me like a thorn in their side …" Hu Xiaodie's eyes were filled with bitterness and unwillingness.

"I won't marry you!" Murong Aotian looked at the unknown distance and lightly said.

"I know!" Hu Xiaodie laughed bitterly.

"Your reputation is already very bad. If you don't mind being even worse, I can get engaged to you!" Murong Aotian suddenly thought of Su Wanbai, that woman who had a kind face and a kind heart. If she was by his side right now, he definitely hoped that she could help Hu Xiaodie.

Su Wanbai could treat everyone in the world well, except him. However, none of this mattered anymore. In his memory, all of her bad luck would be slowly filtered out by the passage of time. Her good, he will always hide in the memory of the deep, forever!

Housekeeper Li's body trembled, he almost thought he heard wrong. How is this possible? Is the young master crazy? Although he did not directly refuse his just now, his attitude was already very clear. He would not marry Hu Xiaodie. In just a few minutes, his attitude had changed 180 degrees. It was truly unbelievable.

Actually, Murong Aotian had already made his decision on the way to the Nangong Family.

Nangong Family and Murong Family had always cooperated in business. The two large families were like fish and water, and neither could leave the other. Using marriage to threaten her Murong Family, the Old Master Nangong naturally had her own plans and plans. As a man, he had to overcome his current difficulties first. Although he would never marry and have children in his life, the engagement was not part of his promise, and he could occasionally use it as a stopgap.

"Really?" Hu Xiaodie's eyes immediately lit up.

"It's just an engagement, don't have any unrealistic illusions!" After Murong Aotian finished, he stepped into the carriage.

Looking at the direction of the car, Hu Xiaodie was startled for a while before slowly walking into the Nangong Mansion.

According to Murong Aotian's initial plan, he would ask about the engagement after a while. However, he did not expect Hu Xiaodie to have been forced into a corner, so he temporarily brought forward the time. At that time, when Hu Xiaodie was pregnant, Su Wanbai was even more agitated than when she was pregnant. Seeing the part of the child that Su Wanbai regretted so much, he decided to pull Hu Xiaodie.

Although the preparations for the engagement ceremony had been rushed, after all, both families were famous clans, so it was necessary to have a grand show. The celebrities of the political world's business community were all giving face, and the scene was bustling with noise and excitement.

Just as the man and woman were exchanging engagement rings, Jin Yihan appeared.

He appeared in front of everyone with a beautiful woman on his arm. Murong Aotian dropped the storage ring on the ground as he stared unblinkingly at the beautiful woman. Was he dreaming? Su Wanbai, didn't she already die? Why did he suddenly appear here? A string of questions swirled in his blank mind. He felt an unprecedented pain in his head. The old wound in his chest was starting to ache.

This was not a dream, this was the truth!

Jin Yihan's eyes were filled with the wild joy of the victor, he wanted to see Murong Aotian lose his composure like this. Everyone said that Murong Aotian was a steel warrior, and that he could destroy everything, but he refused to believe it. He wanted to control his emotions so casually, to play with him in the palm of his hand.

"Ao Tian, even if it's an act, please accompany me until the end!" Hu Xiaodie whispered into Murong Aotian's ear.

Only then did Murong Aotian come back to his senses. All the emotions in his eyes had changed, and even his normally deep and wise eyes had become hollow and blurred.

Hu Xiaodie picked up the storage ring on the ground and returned it to Murong Aotian.

He forced himself to retract his gaze and look at the ring on Hu Xiaodie's finger. The audience broke out into a thunderous applause as they raised their cups one after another and gave their blessings to Hu Xiaodie.

Su Wanbai did not seem to be in high spirits, from start to finish, she had only faintly glanced at Murong Aotian.

Jin Yihan had pulled her out of the house at the last minute, saying that he was going to attend a friend's gathering.

With just a hasty glance, Su Wanbai noticed that Murong Aotian had lost weight, and even his cheekbones had grown taller.

Had he not been well these days?

He previously let Hu Xiaodie down, but now, the two of them were finally together. Shouldn't she be happy for them? But why? She didn't feel happy at all. However, she faintly felt that the softest corner of her heart was ruthlessly kneaded by someone. She felt traces of pain slowly flowing through her internal organs. Her brows slightly knitted as she tried her best to resist this pain.

Murong Aotian, the demon that she had always been trying to think of a way to escape from, had only met his for a short month, how could he have gotten so many inexplicable emotions out of thin air? Annoyed, she picked up a glass of red wine from the table and gulped it down. Jin Yihan was startled. He held onto Su Wanbai's hand that was about to go get more wine and smiled at her.

Su Wanbai coldly shrugged off Jin Yihan's hand and stood up to leave.

"Thank you …" We also attend my engagement ceremony! " Murong Aotian flew over with Hu Xiaodie and his tone was cold and distant.

"Of course, of course!" The corner of Jin Yihan's long and narrow eyes slightly rose, his face had a look of unsincerity.

Su Wanbai suddenly did not have the courage to look up at Murong Aotian and his fiancee. She tried her best to hide the pain in her heart, but the moment Murong Aotian appeared, she could no longer hold on. The man she loved was engaged to someone else, and he no longer belonged to her!

"My apologies for the loss!" Jin Yihan said politely as he looked dotingly at Su Wanbai's back.

When they left one after the other, Murong Aotian was stunned in place. There was an unknown emotion flowing in his eyes.

Just now, he was still anticipating seeing the jealousy on Su Wanbai's face, even if it was just a little. But no, did she still hate him that much? He didn't even bother to look at it. Then she said that it was not true that she loved him, and she meant to make him bear the heavy cross. But anyway, she was still alive, and nothing else mattered. His heart that was throbbing on the right side seemed to have started to become strong and energetic again. Tomorrow, he would go and treat his own stomach. Since he couldn't be with her, he would allow her to hate him. Hatred was something that left a deep impression on him, something that he wouldn't forget!
